I don’t agree with Sam Harris’ ultimate conclusion, but I did enjoy the main message in this short talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3JzcCviNDk&feature=player_embedded#t=342 Thought provoking, thanks for sharing. I do think about the log trucks on the two lane roads around my house and do think that any day could be the day, but I don’t spend a lot of time living now. It is so much easier to live in the past and the future. I agree completely that now is the only important time in our lives, since every other time is nothing more than a continuation of now (created by our personal and collective now), even as I try to consider all future possibilities when I make decisions that will affect my future. I see the past as “previous nows” and the future as “future nows” – and I really like the concept that time is measured only by humans and that everything is present to the Lord. I understand the philosophical arguments against that view, but I like the idea that dealing in the present is critical because, “Sufficient unto tomorrow is the evil thereof” – or whatever the exact quote is. The Buddhist concept of karma is wonderful in this regard – and it is badly misunderstood by most people.
